The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 514: 205 College Entrance Exam, go against the current straight to the clouds! (Extra chapter for monthly pass)_2

She and Ji Shaojun had arrived yesterday morning, and she had prepared quite a few supplements for Bai Lian over the past two days.

“No need,” Bai Lian turned a page of the printout unhurriedly as her phone vibrated several times beside her, “I’m accustomed to this time now.”

The messages were wishes of good luck from Xu Nanjing, Sister Yan Luxin, and the others.

They all knew she had the college entrance exam today.

Except for one person.

He Wen: [[Document.woc]]

He Wen: [Take a look at this today first]

Bai Lian, while having breakfast, glanced at it and replied in a leisurely manner, [I can’t today]

He Wen: [What’s wrong? Have you changed your focus recently?]

Bai Lian: [No]

Bai Lian: [These two days are the college entrance exam]

On the other side of the phone, He Wen, absorbed in his research and oblivious to the passage of time, checked the date and realized it was indeed the 7th of June.

He was somewhat taken aback.

Although Bai Lian had mentioned to him that she was a senior in high school, her effortless communication with him often made him forget that she was a high school senior.

“Who else is taking the college entrance exam this year?” He Wen asked a team member beside him, tilting his head.

The person didn’t know either, “No idea, why do you ask?”

“Nothing,” He Wen sent Bai Lian a message saying “Good luck on the college entrance exam,” before he muttered to himself, “I just feel a bit sympathetic towards them.”

How would this year’s college entrance exam candidates fare against Bai Lian?

**

Experimental High School.

Lu Lingxi stood at the main entrance. The traffic police were already in place and some students had arrived at the exam site.

She had been there since eight o’clock, watching the road intently.

At eight twenty.

She saw a black electric scooter with the emblem of a Xiangcheng local restaurant on it. Lu Lingxi’s steps faltered for a moment as she recognized it as the restaurant where Yang Lin worked part-time.

Yang Lin was riding the scooter.

Lu Lingxi saw her stop and quickly walked over to her.

“Yang Lin.”

Yang Lin parked the scooter. Her home was far from here and the restaurant owner, knowing she had the exam today, had let her take the restaurant’s delivery scooter home last night.

“Teacher,” Yang Lin removed her helmet and pulled out her bag from the side.

Today, she had no one to escort her, but Lu Lingxi had been waiting for her.

Lu Lingxi made an “mm” sound, touching the patch of hair that Yang Lin had grown out, “Did you bring everything? The national paper might be a bit difficult, but don’t be nervous. Your teacher will wait for you here until you come out.”

Yang Lin wanted to say something, her gaze drifting through her bangs towards Lu Lingxi, but she refrained in the end.

It seemed that ever since Bai Lian had come, she had rejected others less and less.

After what seemed like a long silence, Yang Lin handed her phone to Lu Lingxi, “Teacher, could you please look after this for me?”

Her grandparents were still in the countryside, and she was alone. If Lu Lingxi hadn’t come, she probably would have left her phone in the security room.

Never in the history of Xiangcheng was the college entrance exam as lively as it was this year.

The main roads in Xiangcheng, particularly those leading to major exam venues, were manned by traffic police, and signs reading “No Honking” were put up.

Bai Lian’s exam venue was at Experimental High School, which she had visited the previous day with Jiang Fulai.

Bai Lian and Shen Qing rode in a taxi for examinees from Xiangcheng, distinguished by the sign “Student Taking the College Entrance Exam Inside”, and almost all the vehicles made way for this taxi.

She and Shen Qing sat in the back, while Ji Shaojun was in the passenger seat.

It was Bai Lian’s first time taking the college entrance exam, and the cars behind their taxi didn’t honk their horns, a scene she had never witnessed before. Today, everyone was making way for these high school seniors heading to their battlefield.

The people here really cared about their students.

At half-past eight, their taxi stopped at Experimental High School.

There were many people there to see off the examinees.

As soon as Bai Lian got out of the car, she saw Jiang Fulai standing under a tree.

Today, he wore a deep gray casual jacket, his silhouette tall and straight. Amidst the bustling school entrance, only the space around him was serene.

“Xiaojiang!” Shen Qing called out to Jiang Fulai and led Bai Lian toward him.

Today, Bai Lian wore a white satin blouse embroidered with light yellow flowers at the cuffs and collar, and a peach-colored long skirt that shimmered delicately in the vivid daylight, as though she was wearing jade the color of peach blossoms, the fabric smooth and the luster warm.

It seemed that after the graduation photo, she became less resistant to wearing brightly colored clothes.

Jiang Fulai stood under the tree, quietly watching Bai Lian approach. Her figure was backlit, her face somewhat indistinct.

Watching her walk towards him, he felt momentarily disoriented.

Once they reached him, he greeted Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun before looking down at Bai Lian, “Did you bring your pen, ID card, and admission ticket?”

Bai Lian raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to say that, “I did.”

“Good,” Jiang Fulai’s eyelashes drooped as he said, “You go to the exam room, and I will watch you go in.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

No one else was allowed to enter the exam site.

“Xiaojiang, we can wait here. Do you want to head back?” Shen Qing glanced around, remembering that Jiang Fulai was usually very busy.

“It’s fine,” Jiang Fulai replied softly.

Ji Shaojun looked at Jiang Fulai and then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but he said nothing.

Jiang Fulai just stood there, watching Bai Lian carry only a pencil case as she walked step by step into the exam room, her silhouette calm and resolute.

She marched into battle alone, yet it was as if she had the support of a mighty army at her back.

Bai Lian remembered her exam room and seat, and after going through the security check and showing her admission ticket, she went inside.

Most of the candidates were already there, and her arrival still drew quite a bit of attention.

At eight fifty.

The two invigilators had calm expressions. After the preparation bell, they distributed the test papers and instructed the examinees, “Everyone, please write your name and admission number first. Don’t forget.”

Bai Lian looked down at the handed-out test paper.

National College Entrance Examination Paper (A) Chinese.

She glanced at the paper, unzipped her pencil case, and took out the black pen she was used to.

At nine o’clock, the sunlight outside the classroom was just right; Bai Lian looked down at her pen, and pulled off the cap.

Lu Lingxi had said they were going into this day alone, but Bai Lian felt she wasn’t alone. She took the pen and wrote her name on the answer sheet with bold strokes—

Bai Lian.

She began what she had truly come to this world for, her first real battle—

Today her pen would be her spear, aiming straight for the top amidst the trials!
